Oral pathology
Oral pathology focuses on identifying changes in the soft tissues of your mouth—such as unusual spots, sores, lumps, discolouration, or areas that don’t seem to heal. These changes are often harmless, but they should always be checked to be sure. A careful evaluation helps us understand what’s going on and whether monitoring, imaging, or a referral is needed.
Our goal is to provide clarity without causing alarm. We take time to explain what we see, discuss possible causes, and outline the next steps in a way that feels manageable and supportive.
What oral pathology helps identify
• Colour changes in mouth tissues
• Lumps, bumps, or new growths
• Areas that bleed or don’t heal normally
Why oral pathology matter
Changes inside the mouth can happen for many reasons—irritation, infection, trauma, or something requiring closer attention. An early check gives you reassurance and helps prevent delays in care if something needs follow-up.
What happens during a visit
We review your concerns, examine the tissues of your mouth and throat, and may recommend imaging or referral if needed. You leave with clear guidance and a plan you understand.
